Answers:
This recipe is for a tomatoless chili, but it has lot's of veggies and sounds very hearty (and spicy but you can tone that down if you want)!.

John's Black Jer's Famous Brown Chili
Ingredients :

2 lb top sirloin
2 tblsp corn oil
5 medium white onions
1 clove garlic
4 10-oz cans Bush's Hot Chili Beans (or pinto or black beans)
wash and drain the beans!
6 celery sticks from stalk
3 red bell peppers
1/2 cup frozen corn niblets
1 cup chopped fresh mushrooms (optional!)
2 oz Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce
2 oz Soy Sauce
3 tblsp chili powder
1 tblsp ground black pepper
1 tblsp Oregano
1 tblsp Cumin
2 tblsp blackstrap molasses
or brown sugar, doesn't matter I'm sure!.
1 tblsp (generous) crushed cayenne pepper
crushed, not powdered! Very important I'm told!.
2 tsp Louisiana Hot Sauce
like Tabasco!. Do NOT use 2 tsp of Dave's Total Insanity Sauce!

14-inch frying pan
8-qt pot

If more liquid is required, add beer!.

Preparation :

Cut sirloin into cubes 3/8-inch on a side (5/16 is okay, too)!. Add oil to pan, add heat under pan, add sirloin to oil!. Stir!. Chop 4 of the onions (keeping the other one for later) and garlic!. Chop celery and bell peppers!. Stir meat!. When meat is semi (sorta) browned or grey, add onions, garlic and celery!.

You'll get lots of moisture for a while, then as the onions go translucent, the moisture will reduce!. Pour 8 oz of wine in large wine glass!. Have a couple of gulps!. Add chili powder!. To the pot, not the wine glass!. Stir until well mixed!. Add Lea & Perrins and Soy!.


Cook in frying pan, constantly stirring, until moisture has reduced to maybe a half a cup puddle in the pan!. See if there's any more Lea & Perrins in the bottle!. If there is, add another three ounces or so (!.!.!.says Jer; I don't), and stir it in!. Whether there is or not, have another couple of gulps of wine!.


Transfer frying pan contents to pot!. Pour a splash of wine in the frying pan, loosen all the scrapings and run-away seasonings by stirring, and add to the pot!. Add beans, corn, mushrooms and bell peppers to the pot!. If you're a chili purist, skip the beans and double the meat!. Have a gulp of wine!. Add the molasses, crushed pepper, oregano, cumin, black pepper and hot sauce!. Stir, but do not taste!. Have another gulp of wine, instead!.


Cover the pot, gulp some wine, and simmer (the chili) on low for an hour and a half!. Turn off the heat, and let it sit for an hour with the cover on!. Gulp some wine!. With your palette appropriately cleared and sharpened, taste the chili!. Don't inhale with the spoonful of chili near your open mouth!. Take another spoonful!. Adjust seasoning until chewing, swallowing, and inhaling partially paralyzes the trachea at the bronchial juncture!.


Serving :

Mince the last onion!. Reheat chili until just barely bubbling!. Ladle into bowls!. Spinkle minced onion over surface of chili!. Grate cheddar cheese on top of the onion!. Add a generous tablespoon of sour cream on top of the cheese!. Pour another glass of wine!. Why wine instead of beer!? For some reason, beer makes you sweat while you're eating !.

- Delicious, flavourful chili!. Lots of vegetables and beans, so can be eaten straight, without bread!.
- Originally designed to taste great without tomatoes; but if you are not allergic to them, then try stirring a little tomato paste or unsweetened ketchup (if you can find it!) into your bowl!.
- Heat: "hot" to the non-chilihead, definitely "spicy" to the pepper-addicted among us!. Serve it straight-up to your family, and keep a shaker of cayenne pepper by your own bowl!

Just don't put tomatoes in! !.!.!. You can thicken soups a little, by adding shredded carrots, which also add a nice sweetness!. Add some cubes of winter squash; fresh spinach leaves; shredded cabbage; turnips, rutabagas; potatoes; legumes to any vegetable soups:) Just make some vegetable bouillion as a base, and add your veggies! You can vary the flavors each time by using different vegetables and different herbs!. You can add rice or pasta at the very end!.!.!.!.!. Since hearty minestrone, bean and vegetable soups need to simmer for a long time, the only veggies I don't like in them are broccoli & cauliflower:)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Try a vegetable beef soup!. This is what I do!.

Slow cook some stew meat (1 - 1/2 pounds), either in a slow cooker or on the stove!. Should take about 4 or 5 hours!. Season the meat with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder!. Sear the meat before putting it in the cooker or sauce pan!. Cover with beef stock, about 4 cups!. When meat is finished (very tender) remove from stock, add additional water at this point, 2 cups and add:

diced carrots and celery, bring to low boil and cook for about 10 minutes!. Add diced red and sweet onions, cook 5 minutes, add mushrooms and if you like corn or beans in soup add that or you can add zucchini at this point!. When all veggies are tender, return meat to the pot and add 1 cup beef stock!. Here is my secret!. I add a tablespoon or two of a product called Kitchen Bouquet!. It is a flavor enhancer for stews and soups!. Not to much at one time, it is very strong!. Give a taste, season with additional salt & pepper and then I add 1/2 tsp dried oregano and dried basil!.

I did not give you measurements for the veggies because you can add as much as you want!. I probably add a cup of everything and extra onions because I like onions!. My boyfriend loves this soup!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Just do a web search there is tons of recipes for soups and many do not have tomatoes!. There is a good potato soup that does not have cream added to it and some veggie soups do not need tomato in them either!. Just look around!.!.pea soup or bean soup is excellent for you and no tomatoes involved!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Here's a really good Pumpkin & Pasta Soup with no tomatoes -
